Shop Small & Shop Local Saturday • November 28, 2026
Kick Off the Holidays, Ocean Beach Style! Shop Small Saturday officially kicks off OB Holidays 2026! Join the Ocean Beach MainStreet Association as we celebrate the start of the holiday season by supporting our fabulous local businesses!
We’re not saying an Amazon truck or two can't pull up in front of your house this holiday season, but we hope you'll look local first! Ocean Beach is full of one-of-a-kind shops, talented makers, and wonderful small businesses where you might find the perfect gift for everyone on your list.
Shop Local & Win!
Spend $50 or more in Ocean Beach on Saturday, November 28, for a chance to win fun local prizes, including OB swag, gift cards, and more!
Stop by Veterans Plaza 10 AM - 4 PM to say hello to Team OB, join in the holiday fun, and snap a festive photo with our larger-than-life ENJOY OB letters, with the beautiful Pacific Ocean as your backdrop!
More Holiday Fun Begins!
Shop Small Saturday also kicks off two favorite OB holiday traditions:
OBeachy Bingo – Explore local businesses while searching for our flock of 96 parrots!
OB Storefront Decorating Contest – Admire the festive storefronts and vote for your favorites!
Let’s kick off the holiday season, OB style, by shopping small, celebrating our community, and showing some love to the local businesses that make Ocean Beach so unique.
Shop Small. Shop Local. ENJOY OB!
